Wishing all of my family and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving and for those who are, or will be traveling, a safe Thanksgiving. I am coming to my FB friends and family again asking that you say a special prayer for me. I know you all have prayed for me and I appreciate it so much but I need a special touch from the Lord right now in so many aspects of my life. As you know I have had a very hard time recovering from the surgery I had the first week of October. Thank the Lord they were able to remove the tube from my abdomen yesterday and I was so hoping that the pain I am experiencing would subside. So far this has not been the case. I am in so much pain. Things have happened this past week that has caused a lot of sorrow and stress in the death of my aunt who was like my sister and I know it has affected my body. In going through her home the night she was killed, looking for credit card information for the police department, I went to open a very heavy drawer and it came out on me. I am not to lift even 10 lbs. I bet it weighed 40 or more. I have hurt so bad since. I feel I may have pulled something. The Dr says if no better when checks me next week he will do test. I need to go back to work on Monday after being out 2 months. I need God to heal my body. I know he is a healer. Right now both my body and heart is broken and I am in desperate need of a Divine touch. I apologize for the details, I know God already knows, but I also know sometimes it is easier to pray for someone when you know the need. Also remember us Thanksgiving, Marsha was looking forward to it at my house this year. Just last Saturday she insisted on buying the turkey after I begged her not too. She is going to be missed so much . Please remember her grandsons Cain and Robbie. I have such a burden for them. On another note, please know that I am not just full of sorrow and woe. I have so much to be thankful for. I am so thankful that I belong to the Lord and that someday I have assurance of seeing all of my loved ones in Heaven. I am so thankful for the man God blessed me with as my best friend, husband, and the dad to our 3 sons. I am thankful that God chose me to be Ronnie, Bobby, and Jonathan Ray's mom. I am so thankful for my daughter in laws Jessica, Tiffany, and Diletta and the 11 beautiful and handsome grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren they have blessed me with. I am thankful for my church TBT and Paster David Moody and his family whom I have been blessed to have them as a part of my life since I was 12 years old. I thank God for the job I have that he blessed me with at EHS 20 years ago and the list goes on and on and on. I know I have so much to be thankful for but right now my body and spirit is in desperate need of being lifted up. Thank you in advance for your prayers and I am believing in Jesus name he is going to heal my body. I love each of you
